Saaad, I thought Rocket was the best part about that movie. I don't think I would've enjoyed it as much as I did if not for him.

On a side note, I loved how he was animated. Especially his teeth. Every time he snarled, like in your picture, I thought he looked so raccoony and awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

ME TOO. I loved how racoony he looked/moved. The special effects were really good.

[elaminator]

Yessssssssss, his animation was outstanding. His fur looks so real and his movement was very impressive. It felt way more authentic than expected.

[riddian]

Yes, I definitely loved how often he bared his teeth. He looked so improbably cute and fierce at the same time. <3

[(Anonymous)]

no Rocket is adorable :( his tiny little hands

[(Anonymous)]

yessss omggg sorry, this is a SPOILER, but at the very end, I actually burst into tears at how fucking adorable his little hands were when they all clasped hands. I actually teared up from sheer cuteness. The next scene with him, you know... yeah. Didn't help the tears.

[quirkytizzy]

ME TOO!!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Some of the people in the theater where I went laughed at that part. I could only go eeeeeee it was just so adorable god damn it.

spoiler

[(Anonymous)]

keeping it vague but I haven't bought 'the power of friendship saves the day' as a viable solution in forever. I totally did for this movie.

[elaminator]

Ugh, he's adorable. I want to pet him and tell him everything is okay despite the fact that he would bite my hand off. (Now I'm sounding like those overtly sentimental tumblr posts but he's so precious. An asshole at times, but a precious one. Yea.)

I saw an icon that focused on his hands when he's holding the gun in the prison scene and it cracked me up so badly; it was ridiculous. He's a fun character.

I kinda agree though mostly I was just rolling my eyes

Rocket and Groot both seemed little more than a collection of tired old tropes to me tbh. Cute animal acting tough and edgy, gentle giant, character who's practically mute but somehow his friend can decipher entire sentences from him - it's just, I've seen this all a hundred times. The movie tries to sell itself by being this off-the-wall wacky space adventure but none of it is particularly original or witty. Except for the whistle arrow maybe, that one was cool.

[(Anonymous)]

I was skeptical of Rocket going in, but found him to be reasonably well developed with personality that held the character beyond "look, hilarious talking raccoon with guns". Groot did much less for me, though. He didn't seem like a legitimate character at all, more like comic relief and at best, an extension of Rocket's characterization.

For what it's worth, though, I never thought Rocket could "understand" Groot, he was just projecting onto him. Well, I should say, I think Rocket could understand him in terms of feelings and thought process, but Groot wasn't speaking a secret language that Rocket could interpret. Haven't read the comics so maybe I'm wrong, but I never thought Groot was "actually" ever adding to the conversation.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not an expert on cosmic Marvel but afaik speaking a secret language is actually exactly what he does. It just all happens to sound like "I am Groot".

[(Anonymous)]

It seems like in the comics, Groot actually is speaking a language. But due to their physical structure, everything his people say sounds like "I am Groot" to non-tree people. But people close to him learn to decipher the meaning, such as Rocket Raccoon.

Seems ambiguous if that's what's going on in the movies, though. Rocket says Groot hasn't grasped language yet, and SPOILER!!!! Groot's last line of "We are Groot" seems to contradict him being physically unable to make other noises. Considering how... sort of stupid he is portrayed, or, uh, child-like if you will, it might not be a stretch to suggest that in the film universe, Groot isn't actually communicating at a complex level.

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of like "Ook"?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't have much interest in seeing this film even though everyone around me seems carried away by hype. I've seen the dancing Groot video and do actually love it, but it just makes me feel like I've already seen the best the film could offer.

[(Anonymous)]

That's not the best imo, though it was very cute.

All the characters were very entertaining. I loved every second of the movie.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know - I thought that how they played with the tropes, by making how people see him as a "cute animal acting tough" be a source of actual trauma for Rocket, was pretty clever.

[philippos42]

I think he's supposed to be unpleasant, though? The comic book version is a violent jerk.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, he's supposed to be unpleasant because he was the result of an experiment and everyday people are calling him names or treating him like a joke. I think anyone would be unpleasant if that happened to them.

[(Anonymous)]

Raccoons are ugly (and terrifying) at times, and I appreciated how they didn't shy away from that. IDK, it worked for me.

[hands4healing]

Huh. I kinda thought of Rocket and Groot as Han Solo and Chewbacca upon first appearances. And I found them both to be great characters. Well animated, and with distinct personalities.

[(Anonymous)]

I can never enjoy mushy mother/daughter relationships in fiction for the same reason. Even if I know lots of people have relationships like that, it always seems sappy and unrealistic to me. Like damn, that whole arc of Buffy where her mom got cancer. I totally failed to care about it at all. It was just boring to me.

It might have to do with the fact that my birth mother died from cancer when I was very young, and I don't remember it, but everyone around me is like "oh you poor thing! you must be so traumatized!" when in fact I don't care because she's a stranger to me. That fact has totally killed all cancer plots for me and all mom death plots for me (also any plot that involves attachment to a parent that a character has never met. Why would you care??), along with the fact that I don't get along with my stepmother. I think I would have done just fine with just my Dad. Mothers, bleh.
